[edit] Slashdot subculture
I was wondering if you had a particular reason for removing the memes which you had just added from the trolling section? you mentioned you moved them, and the talk pages don't really enlighten me much. They're pretty valid for inclusion somewhere in some article, and was wondering where they were ending up? Thanks. --ABQCat 09:51, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Furthermore, you removed information on the "In Korea/old people" meme. This meme is valid. I was one of the first people to use it :-) -- Coop 03:07, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jungle (Board Game) moved to Jungle (board game)
Sean, I moved the Jungle (Board Game) article to Jungle (board game) (notice the capitalization change). This is the standard way to name articles, just like Go (board game). Thanks for your edits on Wikipedia! You know, if you're ambitious, you could create a template for Jungle board positions so that you can have pretty graphical outputs (for the way it's done in the chess pages, see how the Template:Chess position is used in the Chess page) - grubber 13:07, 2005 July 28 (UTC)

[edit] Tartan and shortbread history
Regarding your recent edit at Tartan where you were interested in a citation for the derogatory use of "tartan" to refer to something Scottish:
http://scottishsocialistparty.info/archive/2004_04_04_newsarchive.html
See the "Pack up the old kilt bag" article from which I quote (emphasis mine):
"Tartan Day is actually a repackaging exercise it is the repackaging and the burying of our history. I was duff at school and fell asleep during History, yet I still learned all about English kings, the Battle of Hastings, Victoria and Albert, etc.
"All of which I am grateful for but I have asked my folks and friends and not one of them learned much about this monumental part of Scottish history until they sought it out themselves. Why are we not out partying in the streets as we recall the day when our comparatively small country told the rest of the world that it would 'set people above the King'? The declaration is a plea for liberty and freedom. Not the tartan and shortbread type of freedom real freedom and equality and peace."
Herre the reference is to "tartan and shortbread history", which would mean a view of Scottish history devoid of any real substantive analysis and instead consisting of various colorful legends, pageantry, glorious battle history, kings and nobles genealogy, etc. In fact, I have often seen this phrase used in similar fashion, not just in reference to the history of Scotland. Search Google using the terms "tartan and shortbread" and history, for example.
It is true that the history of Highland traditions especially (the clans, kilts, and tartans) is rife with legend and mythology.
I'll leave it up to you whether you want to restore or expand on the reference in some form.

[edit] Push the ground vs. push up
what exactly was the reason for changing "push the ground" to "push ups", it's the same thing just with different wording. Bignole 14:23, 19 December 2005 (EST)
- To be honest, I have never heard the phrase "push the ground" before and thought it sounded like a bad translation. Does the coach actually tell them to "push the ground" or somesuch? -Fuzzy 20:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- You've never been told to "push the ground", "eat dirt", "kiss the pavement"? ...lol...ok. Um, I'm pretty sure that he doesn't say let's do some "push ups", but he may not have said anything at all and just implied it. I will go back and check it and let you know his exact words.

- His exact words were "assume the position" Bignole

[edit] FFvtTR "nonsense"
Sorry about that. I didn't realize that it was about a computer game (probably was patrolling too fast). I thought that it was a real military initiative (doesn't "Freedom Force" remind you of "Iraqi freedom"?), and witches aren't real. Again, I apolagize.

[edit] Page name for temperature articles
To avoid flip-flopping between 'degree Fahrenheit' and 'Fahrenheit' or 'degree Celsius' and 'Celsius', I propose that we have a discussion on which we want. I see you have contributed on units of measurement, please express your opinion at Talk:Units of measurement. Thanks. bobblewik 22:09, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 01:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
